Back in the very late '60s, as members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame supergroup, The Jefferson Airplane, Jorma and Jack decided to form a roots oreinted side project to keep busy when the Airplane was not touring. That "side project" has endured longer than almost every group of their era. For more than 40 years, guitarist Jorma and bassist Jack have been touring steadily with Hot Tuna. They recently released their first studio albun in twenty years. Steady As She Goes was produced by Larry Campell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and has been receiving considerable critical accliam.

The legendary fiddler Darol Anger and his partner, Emy Phelps, have recently re-located to the Boston area where Darol is associated with Berklee College of Music, and Emy has just released her new album produced by Darol.
